MRS. G'S FAIR SCONES
This base of this recipe is called Puyallup Fair Scones (Recipe #183806)...I of course had to mess with a good thing and here's the recipe I came up with. These are even better! Here's some of the research on scones that I found...using butter gives the best flavor, but shortening preserves the scones better after the first day. Hence the 1/2 butter, 1/2 shortening, a good compromise. Using heavy cream keeps the scones moister than milk. The recommended flours (for taste and gluten content) are first, Pillsbury Unbleached Enriched All-Purpose Flour (with a 10 - 11% gluten content), second King Arthur Unbleached Enriched All-purpose Flour (with an 11% gluten content). Chilling the butter and shortening in the freezer for 20 minutes or so helps the fat not "melt" when mixing. You can use your hands or a pastry blender to mix the fat and flour, but using a food processor also keeps the fat intact and not "melted" from the heat of your hands. Mix as little as possible so that the gluten does not over develop and make the scones tough. Sifting is critical. 2 1/2 cups unsifted flour weighs more than 2 1/2 cups sifted flour and would make a tougher scone. If you want to get really into it, "they" say that you should place a measuring cup on top of some parchment/wax paper and actually sift the flour into the cup, use the paper to catch the excess.

CAESAR DRESSING
I created this Caesar Dressing several years ago when I was catering. People loved it and I just give it out. I tried to make it with low fat mayo but it was not the same. This recipe makes about one quart. I have yet to find a any Caesar Dressing in any restaurant that can beat this one. I have also added artichoke hearts or grilled chicken breasts. I will add my Chicken Adobe recipe that is great with this salad.

SAGE SAUSAGE, APPLE AND CRAISIN DRESSING
This is a recipe I use every year for our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. I usually double this recipe for the amount of people we have over. It is wonderful as left-overs, also. The nice thing about this is that it can be prepped the day before, so on the day your cooking, you just pop it into the oven (less dirty dishes and more free time that morning). I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as our family does.

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 325*F. Butter a 3 quart casserole dish. Place stuffing cubes in a large bowl.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat and add sage sausage (breaking up with a wooden spoon). Cook until almost all the pink is gone, but not so much that it gets dry (about 5 minutes). Pour cooked sausage AND all the drippings over the top of the stuffing cubes (Do Not mix in yet).
- Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter in the same pan and add onion, apple, celery and the salt. Cook (stirring often) until veggies start to soften (about 5 minutes). Add the chicken broth and parsley to the pan and bring to just boiling.
- Once boiling, pour broth and veggie mixture over the stuffing cubes and sausage.Gently toss everything until evenly moistened (if it seems that it needs more moisture, add 1 tablespoon of water). Now add in Craisins and the beaten egg. Mix well.
- "Loosely" pack the dressing into the prepared casserole dish. (At this point you can "tightly" cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate it over night to bake the next day, just remove the wrap, gently stir in about 1 tablespoon of water, "lightly "pack again and let it rest on the counter about a 1/2 hour before placing in the oven).
- Bake the dressing, UNCOVERED, until the top starts forming a crust (about 40 minutes). While it's baking, melt an additional 2 tablespoons of butter (unless you prefer to use 2 tablespoons turkey drippings). Once the 40 minutes are up, drizzle the butter (or turkey drippings) over the top of the dressing and return to the oven for an additional 20 minutes. Serve warm.
- (If your turkey is already roasting at the same temperature, you could add the dressing during the last hour. If your oven temp is different, you may need to adjust baking time). Enjoy!
